What A Beginning!!

The first days of school have been a whirlwind of fun and excitement and exhaustion!!!! Establishing a routine and practicing the routine at times has been a challenge! I feel, however, we are finally into the "groove" of my expectations!! I have a wonderful group of students this year, and they seem eager to learn!! We are reading Lord of the Flies, and the students write in a journal everyday, pretending they are stranded on an island as well!! They seem to enjoy this experience!! We are slowly learning to love to read as well!! Or, I am hoping they do, as many of my students are "reluctant readers" to say the least!!! I will post more as we progress!!!
